Friday Sharing w/You

It is time for questions.I would like you to ponder on these few “HOWs” and try something different in 2014.

We have finished with 10 months and entering into the last 2 months of 2013.

First things first,

it is time for you to ask for money (Budget time) for Fun, Safety and a Younqiue Unexpected Quality Journey (UQJ)– If you budget money for all these 3 initiatives, it will enable you to achieve not only one bottom-line of just profit, you are going to achieve 3 bottom-lines - Profit, People happiness (retention) and Planet. We need to make this planet a better place for our next generation. Let us do less with less for the planet and not forgetting the end in mind is to have Quality Work; Quality Life throughout this Unexpected Quality Journey… Safety included

Here are the questions for you to ponder before entering 2014.

How to get your management to understand a radical new idea of Unexpected Quality Journey that you want to implement in 2014? – The Unexpected Quality Journey that lead your organization toward achieving Quality Work; Quality Life

How do you transmit concept, behaviour, mindset, and skills that are barely understood in the first place?

How do you tell managers/employees and explain what they have done in 2013 might be redundant?

How do you increase capacity without increasing one single headcount in 2014?

How do you instill Quality & Safe Behaviour by not creating more policies, rules & regulations? – The more rules you implement, you will get more rule breakers.

How do you get not just acceptance but enthusiasm and ‘Right’ Actions?

2014 will belongs to those who take the Right Actions. Right Actions does not mean exact, equal, the same right action other take, or proper. Right Actions, Hmmm…you have to email me at daniel@qualipreneur.com to take you into 2014 with the Right Actions that will allow you to walk the path of Quality Work; Quality Life. Let us begin the Unexpected Quality Journey in 2014.

Budget now!

A rough number for your UQJ budget – For 1st and 2nd tier managers - each Sin$5,665 for a six months Quality Certainty Coaching program. Remember, your Managers need help, coach them. For all other employees, they will be attending a 3 days Quality Certainty Process workshop for Sin$8,497. (for 20 pax workshop). This is a company-wide Unexpected Quality Journey. We are not just looking at top-down or bottom-up approach . We are insisting on Middle-out approaches. We are going to smash the Middle-Management Mindset to get the quality certainly level in your organization.

Our Singapore government is thinking and planning 20 to 30 years ahead, moving something here and there to put 7 million people in a city-state. You don’t need to think so far, just need to give me 3-5 years, we should be able to instill quality certainty and safe behaviour in your organization and make more money for everyone and achieving Quality Work; Quality Life
